Kit dump

This was the some of the kit used by four members of the UOTC during a couple of days on a field exercise in December.

I'm told that these bergens are used to carry "stuff" - food, clothes, sleeping bag etc - from one place to another. A smaller day sack is used for the essential "stuff" for one day - waterproofs, warm kit and that day's food and drink. Small, and still essential, "stuff" is carried in webbing pouches.

UOTC is University Officer Training Corps, a branch of the Territorial Army..

Another vanishing point, Ellie! Do you know why the tops of the fence poles are painted white? To be seen better?

EJWilkins: I think you're right, that they're painted to make them seen, especially at night and when it snows. There is no streetlighting in this area, and it's quite bleak - only about three or four miles from Stonehenge.
